Maker is a feature-length documentary that looks into the current Maker Movement in the U.S. – a new wave of Do-It-Yourself and Do-It-Together. Sometimes called the “Third Industrial Revolution,” The Maker Movement subverts traditional manufacturing by building on innovative concepts such as open source, crowd-funding, and digital fabrication. Breaking the hobbyist movement stereotype, Maker delves deep into this ecosystem of design and manufacturing in the Internet era. The film explores the ideas, tools, and personalities that are driving the movement.

This screening is part of the program The Maker Movement in Libraries organized by SALT in parallel to the 52nd Library Week in Turkey.
